Arsenal's transfer window has quite rightly been dominated by their incomings, with the likes of Keiran Tierney, Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe and William Saliba all moving to the Emirates this summer, in what has been a strong transfer window.
But amongst all the transfer madness, one of the Gunners most promising youngsters has been sent out on loan, with striker Eddie Nketiah moving to Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds United for the rest of the 2019/20 season.
There are high hopes for Nketiah at Arsenal, with the 20-year-old already making 19 senior appearances for Unai Emery's side, but this loan move will alllow him to get regular game time, in order to develop his immense talent.
So, how will Nketiah perform in the Championship?
And, how many goals will he score for Leeds?
We used Football Manager 2019 to have a bit of fun and try to predict Nketiah's season at Leeds.
Eddie Nketiah - Leeds United
Current ability: 125/200
Potential ability: -85 (170/200)
Age: 20
Best attributes: Acceleration (17), pace (16), off the ball movement (15), work rate (15), finishing (14), technique (14), agility (14), natural fitness (14), determination (14), team work (14).
To set up the simulation, we inputted the future loan transfer of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal to Leeds on August 8 2019,
Using a fan made editor file, we also updated all the latest transfers, manager changes, promotions and relegations, to make it as realistic as possible, including the likes of Helder Costa, Ben White and Jack Clarke's loan back to Elland Road.
The only thing that we weren't able to do is include the accurate Championship fixtures for 2019/20, which have already been confirmed ahead of the new season.
We also stopped United signing anyone else in-game, to see how much of an impact Nketiah would have at Leeds.
So how much of an impact could Nketiah have at Leeds United in the 2019/20 season?
Here's what happened....
Eddie Nketiah's 2019/20 season for Leeds United
Nketiah's impact was incredible.
The 20-year-old had an outstanding season for Leeds, scoring 23 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions.
That includes 19 Championship goals in 43 league starts, proving himself to be a fantastic signing for Marcelo Bielsa's side.
Also, Nketiah's form was so good in the league, he was the joint third-highest goal scorer in the division, scoring the same as Joe Lolley, but not as much as Famara Diedhiou and Lee Gregory (Who moved from Stoke to Charlton in January).
Eddie Nketiah's best performances in 2019/20
Leeds United 2-0 Barnsley
In his first Leeds appearance, Nketiah was at the double at Elland Road in a 2-0 win over Barnsley.
Huddersfield 2-2 Leeds United
Nketiah was also at the double against Huddersfield, as they earned a 2-2 draw.
Leeds United 2-3 Liverpool
But, it wasn't just the Championship sides that felt Nketiah's goal scoring prowess, as the Arsenal youngster scored two against Liverpool in an FA Cup 6th round defeat.
Leeds United's best XI in 2019/20
Unsurprisingly, Bielsa's best XI for the season had Nketiah up top, with Pablo Hernandez playing as a number ten behind him.
The 2019/20 Championship table
But, where did Leeds finish in the Championship?
The simulation predicts a first place finish in the 2019/20 season with Nketiah in the side.
Bielsa's side won an incredible 96 points, finishing 11 points clear of second place Fulham.
So, there you go.
According to Football Manager 2019, Nketiah's signing will have a huge impact on Leeds' fortunes next season, as they finish as Championship winners.
Wouldn't that be a perfect year for Nketiah's development?
